Good perspective. In the US HR rather than government policy makes it hard to fire an employee.
I was talking with a manager friend about the relative ease of hiring temps/contractors vs. full-time and commented that "in 20 years we'll probably all be temporary". He was surprised by this and responded "but don't you see the value in a company having full-time employees?"
My response was "yes but what you incentivize you get more of, and right now all the incentives are heavily skewed towards hiring temps"

Interesting that you already have that in Aus.
